Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall takes day off Saturday

(8/1/15) After participating in the first two days of training camp, the Redskins held cornerback DeAngelo Hall out of Saturday's full-pad practice as a precaution, reports the New York Times.

Hall is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and the plan is for him to practice for two days then take a day off.

"Not being in football in 10 months, I'm going to need some monitoring, as far as reps and things like that, just to make sure I don't kill myself in the first two weeks," Hall said. "You've got a little bit of anxiety — kind of anxiousness, nervousness, excitement — so it felt a little different. But once you get on the field, it's still football. My leg still worked. Still not quite as explosive as I want to be, and they say that's going to take some time, but I feel good."

Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall not sure if he'll be ready for camp

(7/7/15) Redskins veteran cornerback DeAngelo Hall hopes he has recovered enough from a torn Achilles tendon to be 100 percent for the starting of training camp. But he's making no guarantees.

"I know they're going to monitor me," he told 106.7 The Fan. "I know they are not going to just throw me out there and [have me] take all the reps with the [first team].

"I'm just going to get out there and see how the body feels ... I'm at the mercy of the trainers and coaching staff. They're going to kind of wean me back in slowly."

Hall, who lost all but three games last season to the injury, also missed OTAs and minicamp, but has recently begun ramping up his workouts.

Report: DeAngelo Hall could move to free safety

by Larry Hartstein | Senior Analyst

(3/26/15) The Redskins are looking for a starter at free safety and could move veteran corner DeAngelo Hall into that role, reports the Washington Post. Hall, 31, is coming back from two surgeries to fix the ruptured Achilles' tendon he suffered last year.

Coach Jay Gruden mentioned to the paper that many free safeties are converted cornerbacks, including Oakland's Charles Woodson. Hall has said previously he'd be open to such a move, but he and the team have not discussed it yet, per the paper.

Before re-working the deal, Hall had $1 million of his $4 million salary guaranteed. Hall's 2014 season ended when he suffered a left Achilles tear. The new deal will provide the Redskins with added security if Hall struggles to return from the injury.

(10/31/14) An accident at home has resulted in a second left Achilles tear in five weeks for Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall and will add up to 6-9 months to his recovery time, a source has told the Washington Post.

The veteran sustained the initial injury against Philadelphia in Week 3. He underwent surgery shortly thereafter.

Hall re-signed with Washington in the offseason on a four-year, $17 million contract, including $5.65 million guaranteed.
